The Eli and Edythe Broad Center
for Regenerative Medicine and Stem
Cell Research at USC will hold two
new programs this summer that offer
high school students the opportunity
to experience hands-on lab research
in the biomedical sciences and to
encourage them to pursue science
high after school.
Early Investigator High School
Summer Program in Stem Cell
Research gives scientifically
minded high school students from
Harvard-Westlake School, the
Marlborough School and the Lifeline
Education Charter School the ability
to experience eight weeks in a
research laboratory.
The USC Science, Technology
and Research High School Summer
Research and Creativity program,
which has a 23-year standing
partnership with the Francisco Bravo
Medical Magnet High School, will
broaden into stem cell research with
its $264,000 grant from the California
Institute of Regenerative Medicine.
These programs offer high school
students eight weeks in the lab and a
weeklong workshop at the beginning
of the summer, during which
students learn techniques for stem
cell research. Participants also attend
progress meetings and seminars, and
are assigned regular lab duties.
“Expansion of the USC STAR
summer research program is an
exciting new chapter in our science
education endeavors and partnership
with Bravo High School,” said Dr.
Roberta Diaz Brinton, director of the
USC STAR program.
USC STAR will offer 10 high
school students the opportunity to
intern with a research team either
at the Stem Cell Center or one of
Keck launches new high school programs
The two new programs are
designed to give participants
practical experience in labs.

The School of Cinematic Arts
announced the creation of the
Media Institute for Social Change,
a non-profit organization that will
focus on channeling the power
and reach of film and television
entertainment for positive social
change, on Friday.
Michael Taylor, chair of film and
television production, will lead the
Media Institute of Social Change and
said he encourages film students to
write, direct and produce films that
will advocate for social and political
change.
The institute will provide
scholarships to students integrating
social change into their films,
offer advice to professional
filmmakers and conduct research
on information in films about social
change, Taylor said.
Taylor said the timing of the
new institute is important because
media continues to have a growing
impact on society.
“There is an interest now more
than ever before in social issues,
and as filmmakers we have a huge
impact on the culture,” Taylor said.
“We have a huge impact so we can
use those films for the greater good
by incorporating issues of social
change into the movies.”
He said he hopes to expand
the mission of his class Making
Media for Social Change, which he
is co-teaching with Emmy Award-winning
director Jeremy Kagan, into
multiple facets of media.
“There are 14 students that I have
in that class, and out of the 14 films
that we’re making on various social
issues, only one is a documentary, so
13 out of 14 are fictional films, and I
think there is a tremendous interest
now in doing that,” Taylor said.
The institute will research the
effects current television and film
have on public opinion and policy,
Taylor said.
“The Media Institute for Social
Change is rigorously nonpartisan,”
Taylor said. “We do not have a
political agenda; we are not taking a
position on issues.”
The institute will also establish
connections between industry
professionals to faculty experts at
USC to provide facts and guidance
on topics, including social human
rights and environmental justice.
“I went to a conference last
week at the United Nations in New
York and people were really very
interested in what we were doing
here at USC and how we’re using
film and television and new media
to incorporate social issues into the
work that we’re doing on a variety of
issues,” Taylor said.

Professor Wayne Glass said
goodbye to 10 years of teaching
international relations on Monday
in The Forum with a lecture
called “Looking Back to the
Future,” highlighting important
lessons from his past as well as
advice for students in the present
and future.
“I’ve sort of formulated a series
of rules,” Glass said. “I really do
think that some of the things I
say, I hope you’ll take them with
you.”
Glass came to USC in 2002,
ending an extensive civil service
career in Washington, D.C.
that saw him holding positions
with the State Department,
Congressional Budget Office and
as senior defense policy advisor to
Senator Jeff Bingaman.
Despite his brief tenure, Glass
quickly became a legend among
students, making his mark as
more than just another professor,
said Chris Yon, a senior majoring
in international relations (global
business).
“He is the most inf luential
professor I have ever known,” Yon
said. “He is a true motivator. He
really knows how to reach out to
students.”
Glass’ first piece of advice was
to “never pass up an opportunity.”
He shared stories of how he
came to learn this from getting
a scholarship to Princeton
University to getting his first
job at the Pentagon to meeting
his wife, and told students to
apply this advice to their own
education.
“USC is a special time and place
in your life,” Glass said. “Don’t
miss any opportunities. Discover
what a great place USC is and take
opportunities to see the world.”
Glass created a summer
program that takes a delegation
of students to Washington, D.C.
to research nuclear security and
meet with experts and officials to
get experience in the field. Glass
said he still plans to facilitate the
